What Are You Going To Work On Next Year?

[paul25]

Work on shakey head, drop shot etc. anything to do with a spinning rod, and also swimbaits

[hoosierbass07]

  Since I have a fishing kayak ordered and I'm getting a fish finder for Christmas, I hope to work on transitioning from bank fishing to kayak fishing along with canoe fishing.  I mostly used plastic worms this year so I hope, being out in the water and being able to go where I want to in a kayak, I will find a few more places where I can use other lures a little more, like spinner baits.  Oh, and I want to focus on catching big BIG bass and not simply any bass.

I really need to learn and get confidence with jigs.

I'm going to throw swimbaits this spring too.

Also I need to get more confidence and experience with carolina rig and crankbait.

So pretty much, I need to fish A LOT.

[S_Miketa6]

Im going to work on fishing deep with my electronics, fishing more swimbaits.

I'm torn between two:

 

1. Spend less money

2. Buy a new boat

Definitely can't have both.    lol

[camovan]

I can if I buy a used boat   Yeah, the wife will buy that.....

Late last night, during a special secret session,  The Scrounga Club held a very important meeting. 

A motion was made and a vote was taken. 

As a result of this unanimous decision  -

The Club's single minded mission is to get Stitch (Topwaterspook) on a Super Grande

 

- And know this . . . .

 

We Will Not Be Deterred !

Since I'm comfortable with a 1.5 oz punch rig in the snot, this year is going to be about using the 100 cranks, traps and jerk baits I have on the boat.

Learning to catch Largies on the River,the Chattahoochee river more precisely.

[AK-Jax86]

Get myself a boat!!

Don't need to work on it but FROG FROG FROG FROG!! I feel like a crack head with no crack now that I have to resort to cranking since the frog bite is dead... But cranking is a good substitute but nothing like that crack aka FROGGY

[papajoe222]

Using my ultra-light spinning outfit more.  I've been concentrating so much on catching big fish that I almost forgot how much fun it is to catch the small ones on light tackle.  This kind of goes hand in hand with the other thing I really need to work on and that's slowing down. 

[basscatcher8]

I'm moving from a 14 foot deep v tiller boat to a ranger rt188 console boat so learning to control the bigger boat will be my biggest thing. ive been buying up smallmouth lures and equipment like its going out of style so im hoping everything will work together and make for a successful season

[Craiger12]

Swimbaits

[jessejames556]

1. Slowing down: I have a tendency to fish faster when I'm not catching and move around the lake a lot. I think this is the reason I had such a slow summer.

2. Designating my new rod and reel for a texas rigged worm: This lure is what originally got me into fishing. I've decided that I need to stop trying so hard and go back to what I enjoy fishing.

careful once u start catching those hard fighting fish in the hooch you may not wanna go back to the lake lol

[RoLo]

A new PB.

 

The man asked: "What would you do DIFFERENT?"

I"m sorry, but that does not quality as anything different

I have 2 I want to work on:

1) Swimbaits

2) The jika rig

[KyakR]

For me it's accuracy! And a quieter entry.  This winter I'm going to practice cast out on the lawn in the snow. After I make a 3-D hunt range for fish out there the neighbors will probably call the cops but at least I'll be accurater

You got me Roger.

I only read the "What are you going to work on next year?" title.

[Siebert Outdoors]

I'm going to work on 2 things. 

 

Catch smallmouth like Dwight.

 

The second I really want to expand on multi species.  Everything from Pike/Musky to crappie. 

[Got1Fishing]

I really want to work on crank baits and fishing deep (15+ ft) of water. I am usually a bank fisherman so I'm not accustomed to finding fish that deep. Now I'm on the bass fishing team at my school and they sometimes catch fish deep and it's awesome to see it, but I have no confidence myself to catch fish that deep. I caught one fish at 16ft under a bridge and was shocked! 

[FrogFreak]

This winter I'm diving in to lure making. Starting with top water poppers. This summer I'm going to get back to the basics and focus on fewer techniques instead of chasing the latest fads. Here is the lineup:

 

T rigged plastics

Drop shotting

Top water poppers

and of course frogs

 

I'll still punch and flip jigs from time to time as well but I just enjoy the techniques listed above and isn't that what it's all about (unless you're making a living fishing)?

[gr8outdoorz]

My wedding & honeymoon!!

[Jaiden]

I want to work on swimbaits, a new PB, and better boat control and positioning.
